Jerome

Jerome is an enchanting town and a photographer's paradise. From its external appearances it hasn't changed much in nearly 100 years. Many of the buildings used by present-day business folks are those built after the fires of 1894 and 1899. Due to the 30-degree incline of the mountainside, gravity has pulled a number of buildings down the slope. To the delight of some, one of those buildings was the town's jail. Those buildings that are still standing make for interesting visiting. Many of the buildings are now interesting artist's galleries, gift shops, textile shops and restaurants.
